The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-09-15

In the soft twilight Of yesterday eve, the
equestrian beauties Of the town passed up
Main street at quick time, with true cay
airy precision Of fright dress," mounted
on superb chargers champing at the bits,
foaming i'm the flants. and nostrils dis
tended. Had their escorts been imbued
with the Knight-errantry which character
lied the inimitable chivalry of Don Quix-
ote, they would have dealt death to the
pack of mongrel dogs-"curs of low de-
gree, who ran out, Tray, Blanche, Sweet
heart, little dogs. and all" to yelp and
bark at the heels of every steed. unmind-
full it bore. in graceful polse, sac fine q
lady" Death to the dogs-by law, il 1t can
be executed-but, let them die anghom.
When these worthless bipeds cause a run
away and the death of somebody, then per-
haps the statute against them will be exc
cuted.

Mr.. Jno. II. Hester. living six or seven
miles this side of GAINESVILLE, fell from
the top of barn some two weeks ago and
fractured his shoulder blade and several
ribs. At last accounts his condition was
precarious, having sustained, it was feared
some internal injury.
In the same neighborhood on "Wednesday
of last week, lightning struck the cellar
door of the large Wildwood" residence
now occupied by w. A. Harris, splinterine
the facing and sills. No other part of the
building was injured and no sign was LEFT
above the cellar door, and why it did moi
explained mystery. The family were only
slightly shocked.

The voters of Chicago pronounce

The voters of Chicago pronounced
on Monday last by q decisive MAORI
" against two candidates for circuit
judgesmp, who had been named by
the democratic central committee and
Endorsed by the United Labor party,
with which the anarchist element of
ChicagO's population mas been identi-
fed. 1t had been charged that the
democratic leaders had offered NOM
nations for sale, and a general be-
lief in the truth of this charge led to
the formation of a citizens organiza-
ton, by which two reputable demo-
Gratis were put in nomination against
the candidates of anarchy and cOrrup-
ton. The Citizens ticket, headed
by States Attorney Grinnell, whose
vigorous prosecutions of the seven
condemned anarchists has given him
a leading position as a representative
of order and law, was victorious in
the election by nearly $4,000 MAORI
". OF the six circuit judges elected
three are republicans and three are
democrats.

Collection of Health Statistics.

1t is said that an attempt will be
made to induce congress at the next
session to provide for the collection
of health statistics from the large cit
les and towns in all parts of the
country. At the present reports are
collected at Washington regarding
the health of foreign countries and
the prevalence of infectious dis
eases in them: but no provision ex-
lists for the compilation of similar
statistics for this country. We have,
to be sure. a national board of health,
established a few years since at
Washington but it has accomplished
little owing to the uncertain tenure of
office of the members of the board
and the failure on the part of the
House OF Representative to make
the necessary appropriations for the
work.
The suggestion is made that the
medical boards attached to the war,
navy and interior departments could
easily accomplish the statistical work
proposed in this direction, if so au-
thorized by congress. In case the
work should be entrusted to these
boards, the appropriations need not
be so large as though a special COM
mission were required. Some addi-
tiOnal sources of information would
be required and a wider range of in
vestigation, but the work in the main
would be directly in the line of the
government medical boards. We
trust that by some method or other
these statistics will be collected
They could hardly fail to be of great
practical value, certainly of more
practical benefit than the statistics of
the health centres of the population
in other parts of the world.-Free

of law. He has the works of Web
ster. Clay, jefferson and Madison
occupying honored places. The SEN
ator is thoroughly up in English lit
erature, and is great reader. Strange
to say his recreation is in English
literature, and there is not in Thack-
cray. Dickens or Scott, character
he is not familiar with. He reads
the works of these authors over and
over again. From the window of
Mr. Edmund's study the view is su-
perb. Standing at the window he
pointed out some of its beauties.
Over across to the left is Nashiag-

cles gIittering in the sunlight. To
the right is kalorama Heights, the
most famous of the suburban homes
of Washington. Beyond the house
you can catch a glimpse of beautiful
Rock Greek, gurgIing and sparkling
as it merrilv flows on to join the
stately Potomac.

weighed in the presence of a commit

have to be braced up by strong
beams on the outside TO prevent the

some idea of the magnitude of the

nearer a practicable conception, when
it Is understood that this store is add

pounds of silver in five thousand
bags. Where will it end: When will
it stop: Washington will become a

ashes, but in silver.
The fieeting character of Washing
ton life was most sadly exemplifed
the other day, when it was desired to
give Sir Edward Thornton. the form
er minister from Great Britain to the
United States, a dinner. Sir Edward
was requested to make out a list of
those of his former friends here he
would like to meet again. He did so,
and of all that list, numbering men
once active and prominent in poIiti-
cal and social life, but one could be
found in the town. The others.

The st. Louis Republican Dem.
quotes q democrat Congressman as
saving, on the authority of Private
Secretary Lamont, that cordial rela-
tions and a complete understanding
exist between Gov. Hill and Mr.
Cleveland. Lamont, according to
this Congressman, says that Mr..
Cleveland will not accept renomi-
nation if the labor troubles continue,
because he knows that in the case he
could not have the support of a
united party, and thinks that the
man for such a situation would be
Hill, who would be acceptable to
most of the labor men. Mr.. Cleve-
land thinks, however, that the labor
troubles will have quilted before
spring, and in that case he will ac-
cept q denomination, and Mr.. Hill
will seek another term as Governor.
